Modern quilt teacher and patterns
Learning how to cover zipper ends properly will add the perfect, professional touch to zippered pouches. Making pretty ends for your zippers are very quick and easy and require very little fabric! You can make them to blend in with the zip or the pouch, or even make a statement like the orange ones on my Totoro nappy wallet. What… Read More
My mother-in-law always sends such thoughtful gifts, and this year I think she topped herself with some unique fabric. These stunning pieces of fabric art feature Australian fruits and flowers, and almost look 3D with it’s fancy printing. Now, I’m not a huge “Aussie fabric” fan. All that wattle and banksia and kangaroos and blah blah blah. But these? These… Read More
I’m on track for my next finish… a train track that is! This is the last of the transport paper piecing patterns by Kristy. I’ve had the immense pleasure of pattern testing for her, and my kids are very grateful for it! They are seriously great patterns, and easily adaptable to suit your needs – I made a QANTAS… Read More
For the full holiday slideshow, you can see more photos and details here Shock horror, right?! But when my husband booked the hotel, he didn’t know that he had chosen one right opposite a craft store! And it was my birthday on Monday, so we had to go look. But what might actually shock you is what I bought. Or… Read More

A little while ago I won a competition by Fluffy Sheep Quilting to design a fabric bundle! Whilst I may not have won any fabric, it’s still pretty darn cool to see something I designed available! My first Blogger’s Bundle if you will… It’s available as a fat eighth bundle or a fat quarter bundle and includes Kona Red, School… Read More

After a busy couple of weeks studying and getting projects finished for my blog hop day and TGIFF, I finally started to paper piece a couple of patterns for Kristy – a fire engine and a train. Only to discover that my stash is sorely lacking in blues. As in, virtually nil. Seriously. A couple of greeny blues that are… Read More
This quilt started over a year ago as one of my first quilting projects after my husband bought me Ellie. I thought I was so clever making a transport quilt for my transport-loving son! And then I found out it’s called an I-spy quilt. But hey, still proud of it! It eventually was tucked away in a WIP pile of… Read More
I’m hosting TGIFF this Friday and have set the goal of getting this quilt done for it. I’ve basted my son’s transport I-spy quilt… but what thread to quilt it in?! I really wish I had some light grey on hand, that would be best, and technically I own a set of neutral Aurifil, except it’s sitting back in Australia… Read More
